I'm also running 3.0. I've always just guessed my sync (my monitor is a
brand that Google's never heard of :) Yes I know there are all sorts of
warnings about destroying your monitor... I try to be conservative.
Something I think I read in a man page somewhere is that X tries to use the
first value listed under the default display depth, so the XF86Config-4 lines
may need to be swapped around a bit - mine reads:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "s3v"
Monitor "nech"
DefaultDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
# Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
Modes "1024x768" "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480"
Viewport 0 0
EndSubsection
You'll note I've shuffled the Modes line under my chosen default depth (16)
to put my preferred screen (1024x768) first. That could be what you need
to do to get a 1024x768. Or I could be completely wrong, I'm no expert.
